Description
On July 6, 1415, Jan Hus—a Czech priest who dared to challenge Church corruption—was burned at the stake outside Constance. He had arrived under Emperor Sigismund's solemn promise of safe conduct to defend his ideas at the Council of Constance. Instead, he was imprisoned in a fetid dungeon, shackled in agony, denied fair hearing, stripped of his priesthood, mocked with a demon crown, and executed while singing hymns. His crime? Preaching that Scripture—not corrupt popes—held ultimate authority, condemning indulgences, and translating the Bible into the language of the people.
This cinematic deep-dive uncovers the grim reality of Hus's trial: rigged proceedings, fabricated charges, physical torment designed to break body and spirit, and a public execution meant to terrify reformers into silence. Yet his death ignited the Hussite Wars and planted seeds for the Protestant Reformation a century later. Martin Luther himself called it: "We are all Hussites."

In 1430, the trajectory of the Hundred Years' War shifted when Joan of Arc was captured and transferred to English custody in Rouen. Facing a tribunal led by Bishop Pierre Cauchon, the young prisoner endured relentless interrogations within a military fortress designed to delegitimize King Charles VII. The trial operated outside standard ecclesiastical procedures, subjecting her to harsh confinement under male guards while theologians dissected her claims of divine guidance.

The proceedings exposed a systemic violation of canon law, where arguments regarding divine visions and male clothing masked the political intent to destroy a military symbol. Her execution at the stake highlights the brutal intersection of medieval warfare, religious authority, and political vengeance in occupied France.
